i guess that is what you call dipl diplomacy, biden style. type in jason in the house.com, podcasts, books, the whole thing, thank you for watching this special editi. gutfeld coming up next. >> todd: breaking this morning, learning new information about the person behind the intel leak sending shockwaves around the world. the man worked on a military base and shared highly confidential information with friends online since the pandemic. i'm todd piro. >> ashley: i'm ashley strohmier in for carley shimkus. one user of discord said he read

all of them, is speaking out and says he supports his friend's decision. listen. >> there is talks of foreign intelligence agencies, who is funding wars and certain things and talks of nuclear weaponry, that is hardly touching the iceberg. there is stuff, if your tax dollars are funding these atrocities, you should know about it. >> ashley: lucas tomlinson has the latest. >> lucas: he tells the "washington post" he knows the man who goes by the name og, here is how he describes him. he is not a ukrainian operative, not a russian operative. and any claim he is, is false.

he is not interested in helping foreign agencies with their attack on the u.s. or other country. >> lucas: now more documents discovered from "new york times" showing in-fighting between russia federal security service accusing of obfiskating deaths in ukraine. john kirby says there is a small embassy presence in kyiv to keep track of the weapons. >> there is a small u.s. military presence at the embassy in conjunction with the defense office to help us work on accountability of the material going in and out of ukraine. the united states will not have troops fighting the war in ukraine. >> lucas: american authorities are closer to catching the

person, this should be the tooption. >> stop wasting resources on investigating documents and start finding people in the pentagon compromising america's national security. there is a priority imbalance here. >> lucas: many want to see this suspect apprehended quickly. >> todd: it looks like the apprehension could happen sooner rather than later. how could they could not root him out issue but the "washington post" were able to root him out and write on this guy's background? >> lucas: a lot of people are asking that question, great reporting by the "washington post." the most embarrassing part from

perspective of the u.s. government, the sensitive documents were online for months before it was discovered and people overseas, perhaps from russia, discovered the documents in this chat room when taken from one site to the other, that exposed this whole thing to the world. deeply embarrassing. >> ashley: they don't have a name, i am sure they can quickly narrow this down, probably only a handful of people who have access to the documents. if they arrest this person quickly and know zoo, that could be, you never know, it could be the next story we cover. how many are out there that have access to this and put this information some place else? >> it's a great point, ashley. there is about 3 million americans who have security clearance in the united states, yeah, three million, right? that is in the washington

number. even a small percentage think like these people do, each like this og, it is startling and scary. >> todd: it calls into question security clearance process. how does guy like this get cleard and why are three million people gaining access to it? it is tough to keep three people in line and not mess up when it comes to like the telephone game. when you have three million, that is an issue. >> lucas: that is why top secret information is compartmentalized, it doesn't mean they know every secret, as we saw with snowden and bradley manning, who can gain access is disturbing. >> ashley: looks like they need to tighten up clearance protocol and who has access. >> todd: this has been online

for months now. >> ashley: lucas tomlinson, thank you so much. president biden is traveling overseas in ireland and relying on hunter to intervene as he stumbles over questions. >> todd: and the house oversight committee says their findings who hunter's business dealings don't look good for the president. lauren blanchard joins us now. >> lauren: the trip was not without a few gaffes, his son hunter had to help his dad on more than one occasion -- >> [indiscernible] -- success? making sure do not all have covid, what are they talking about? what is the key to success? guy named jesse helms from south

carolina, north carolina. he was a very conservative guy who was very, very -- not very crazy about african americans when he got here, always had fights. >> ashley: from pubs to meeting with cousins, the white house is insisting this is not a taxpayer funded family reunion. >> what would the white house say to this charge, this is the president coming to rediscover his roots and may be much substance behind it. >> i would not dispute this characterization, i think the president feels strongly there is benefit both here, as well as in the united states to mark the anniversary of the good friday agreement. >> lauren: fox news digital was first to report during the obama administrator, a hundredful handful of hunter's business

associates visited the white house over 80 times. james comer says they are combing through activity reportses filed against hunter biden and it doesn't look good for the president. former obama stenographer says the fbi ignored his tips about then vice president biden getting involved in his son's business dealings. todd and ashley. >> ashley: we'll be speaking to mike mccormack, interested to see what he will say. >> todd: we are interested to see what outkick host bobby has to say. now the influence pedal hunter biden runs coms for the white house. is that right? >> yeah, todd, i was disappointed watching that video because that guy is supposedly

running our country. watch that, that is ideal living parode of an "snl" skit. he can't answer questions from kids, relying on his corrupt son who can't answer his own questions. we see his interviews where he can't talk about how his name biden contributed to his success and ways through life tomp see that, golden opportunity for "snl" to make fun of that situation, but that doesn't happen. watch that video and you got to double -check to make sure it is real because how bizarre his son is running comps for him because he can't answer that. it is concerning. >> ashley: when joe biden told the families they could ask him

anything, it is an act of god to get him in front of the american people. i want to go back to hunter biden, as far as how this looks to americans and the people who have been following this hunter biden laptop story for years now and biden business dealings. we're in the thick of this investigation and yet they are taking this trip to learn about heritage in ireland. it doesn't look good to the american people. absolutely, it is bizarre, the biden campaign ran optics saying that trump and his allies were inappropriate, not politically correct and biden administration and kamala harris are going to better represent the country. a lot is about perception and image, the biden presidency is bizarre and insulting to the

american people. the hunter biden stories are most trafficked online. the interest in his dealings are skyrocketing and substantial. all sorts of americans are fascinated by what is going on with him, so to see him do this and almost make a mockery of the country at home of course doesn't sit well and optics are horrible, as everything with hunter biden has been since the national report by the "new york post," supported by big tech and going on two years later. >> todd: it is insult to the american people and the white house is thumbing its nose by the investigations by even inviting hunter on the trip in the first place. and some calling for dianne feinstein to resign after being on medical need since early march. ro khanna tweeting, it is time for dianne feinstein to resign, followed by dean phillips of

minnesota replying, i believe with ro khanna, it is dereliction of duty for her to remain in the senate. she is asking schumer to replace her on the senate judiciary committee, only temporary, there is a statement right there. it seems like we are headed toward a messy divorce. she said, i have shingles and i need time, she is not fully resigning, what say you, bobby? >> messy divorce it is, when you take your grievances to social media. this goes back to seventh grade, relationships are not going right and you put it on social media like khanna did. he said, this is just temporary and you hear people in the democratic party talk about appointing pro-choice judges. with her not present, it is 9-9,

they want that 10-9 advantage >> this will not be an easy solution, you have people on both sides commenting and arguing back and forth on it. your phrase, messy divorce, todd, is probably an understatement, i think we'll be talking about this for weeks to come and probably no sufficient resolution. >> todd: democrats don't want that, it is democrats doing the in-fighting. bobby burback, thank you. >> ashley: a new bill would allow former president donald trump to move his case to federal court. >> todd: just days before a hearing on manhattan da alvin bragg's failing crime policies in new york city. brooke singman has more. >> brooke: house judiciary committee russell fry proposing no more political prosecution act, that would allow presidents and former presidents to move civil and criminal cases out of

local court claiming federal courts are less likely to make politically charged rulings. this is ahead of monday's field hearing on crime in new york city. the manhattan da alvin bragg's overreach of authority. embattled bodega clerk will testify during the hearing, alba felt personally victimized after he was charged with murder after he was violently attacked in his store. that case was dropped over public outcry of the charge and jim jordan, who was sued by bragg about the investigation 've the hush money investigation is questioning trump's prosecution and biden administration's department of justice. listen. >> we want to know was there involvement with the biden justice department and white house. i think alvin bragg is

obstructing our investigation, our constitutional duty to do oversight. >> ashley: former president trump is suing his former lawyer, michael cohen for $500 million for alleged breach of attorney-client relationship and more. trump says cohen made false statements about him in his books and interviews in the media and claims the statements are with malicious intent. trump will be back in new york city today for a separate case with attorney general leticia james. >> ashley: you know, michael cohen and the lawsuit and the privilege he had with trump, but then you talk about the nda that stormy daniels had, my question is how can these people break all these trust agreements and think they can get away with it? >> brooke: i don't know, it's true. >> ashley: it is amazing we keep talking about this and it

keeping happening. >> todd: i will give you the same answer as a lawyer that brooke did. in law school, professional responsibility goes over ethics a lawyer has to his or her client. you can't do any of this under ethical rules, yet michael cohen has and there are no consequences. >> brooke: he's written two books, countless interviews as the lawsuit states. this 32-page federal lawsuit trump filed in florida against michael cohen, sources close to trump's team says it has nothing to do with the manhattan da's case, nothing to do with the stormy daniels case. the hush money payments and michael cohen's involvement in those, the lawsuit has nothing to do with that specifically, in the grand picture of things, michael cohen was trump's

personal attorney in that matter. so it's really interesting. 500 million employs >> ashley: your signature means nothing on a piece of paper anymore. >> todd: one takeaway from the bragg suit against jim jordan, we don't know if bragg will have to testify whachl this does is delay the process, delays getting answers by the committee of bragg and bragg's people. is that your sense, too? >> brooke: absolutely, it is stonewalling. alvin bragg is trying to make a statement, these are his charges, it is local jurisdiction, according to bragg, his charges are about new york state law. according to his indictment, at least, what he says. but of course, as we talked yesterday, the alleged hush money payments were investigated for campaign finance violation,

that is federal courts and they did not charge trump. the fcc did not charge trump related to the payments. now bragg is doing that because of tax violation -- i'm sorry, it was banking -- falsifying banking records. >> todd: in furtherance of another crime, we don't have the other crime listed. i'll bet $100, it is federal election crime and puts it under jurisdiction of congress. >> brooke: you're right. >> todd: i yelled about that for five minutes yesterday, today five seconds, i'm fired up. anheuser-busch losing $5 billion in value since bud light's partnership with dylan mulvaney. parent company shedding 4% of share prices since march 31. mulvaney defending the backlash claiming to be an easy target,

but vivek ramaswamy, running for president in 2024, capitalizing on the beer giant's landfall, joining on the backlash of selling bud right. get bud right, men are men and women are women, don't apologize for the truth, ditch your next bud light. i went to buy beer on tuesday and there was one non-bud light related beer there, coshg orona. >> ashley: this happened last week -- >> todd: you gave me a look like you don't like me drinking beer. >> ashley: i like coors light. >> todd: a motorcyclist tries to run from police and ends up

running them over instead. >> dude -- >> i didn't have my plate on and i freaked out. >> dude, you hit me head-on with the bike. >> todd: i appreciate the honesty, how it started. >> ashley: a family's plea to pass melanie's law, named after a young girl who died from a fentanyl overdose while at school. >> a young lady full of life, it is pain that will never go and as time goes by, it gets bigger and bigger. >> ashley: melanie's aunt will be here to tell us more about her family's call to urgent action.

>> todd: state troopers make one of the largest fentanyl busts in texas history, 3.1 million doses of the drug after pulling over a mexican national. the seizure was part of greg abbott's initiative >> ashley: grieving family in los angeles is suing their school board for being

unresponsive to the death of ramos. she was found in her school's bathroom. her family is sharing about the loss urging to pass melanie's law, urging schools to take stronger steps to fight fentanyl. listen. >> a young lady full of life, wanting to go to the army. she said it is a pain that will never go and as time goes by, it gets bigger and bigger. >> ashley: michael carillo is the family's lawyer. gladys, i will go to you first. how important is it that this bill gets passed? >> it is very important. it is important for this bill to

be passed. first and foremost, it would help educate school staff and other parents about this poisonous drug that is killing our kids. it would help resources on what to do and in case of an overdose, you can save a life and what we want is to save a life, not for another parent or another family to go through what we're going through. >> ashley: gladys, i can't imagine knowing that melanie was not found until eight hours later. had the school been warned prior that there was a drug issue in the school? >> yes. there was a drug issue at that school. >> ashley: they knew about it? >> they think it is very -- sorry? >> ashley: they knew about it? >> they knew about it, yes.

i think it's very shocking, very awful that they -- the school didn't even find her, another parent found her, which is more heartwrenching. >> ashley: michael, to you, this lawsuit filed by melanie's mother, hollywood's helen bernstein high, didn't take steps to stop the flow of drugs into the school. as we heard from gladys there, the school had been made aware there were issues of drug use in the school, where does this lawsuit stand right now? >> sure, at this point, the school district has answered the lawsuit. i want to point out, there were six or seven prior instances in 2022 alone that the school was made of aware of.

they knew they had a rampant drug problem and did nothing to correct it and we have a tragedy where melanie is left in the bathroom for eight hours, not the school staff or anybody from the school found her. a parent came looking for his daughter, who was thankfully found alive. >> ashley: this is horrifying, parents send their kids to school to learn. they are up against so many different things already and now throw in the fentanyl crisis and it is unbearable. gladys, final question to you. you had mentioned getting this bill passed. not only for your family, but other families watching and i know there are parents watching this now who are scared to death this could happen to their child. this is the second interview

i've done in two weeks, all of the country, this is happening to where one person's child got ahold of drugs, fentanyl in particular, and overdosed. this is the second story like this, what do you have to say for parents that are worried, how can they prevent this from happening to them? >> being more aware, being more aware. i always say parents are busy, take 10 or 15 minutes, talk to your kids and let them know what the consequences of any drug is and repeat it over and over and over. >> ashley: information is key in this and really having even if you think a hard conversation with your child, you have to have hard conversations and let them know the reality of what can happen. i'm sorry this happened to your family, i hope they get this bill passed, not just in

california, but across the country. everyone needs this right now. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> ashley: of course. >> thank you. >> ashley: heartbreaking, i hate having to talk about these stories, but it is happening and unfortunate. mayor of san francisco says crime is not out of control in their city, here she is defending herself. it is taken out of context of the entire city being unsafe, that is not entirely true. san francisco has been a target for so long and used as an example, we come up with out of the box ideas. >> ashley: a tech ceo was just murdered in front of his apartment and the former fire commissioner was beaten with a pipe outside his mother's house. we will take a look. >> todd: odd claim in light of what happened. in portland, look at homeless cabins popping up. you can see them on the screen.

local drug counselor who took this video is here next to tell us about the latest development in the city's horrific homeless crisis.

we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. you think those two have any idea? that they can sell their life insurance policy for cash? so they're basically sitting on a goldmine? i don't think they have a clue. that's crazy! well, not everyone knows coventry's helped thousands of people sell their policies for cash. even term policies. i can't believe they're just

sitting up there! sitting on all this cash. if you own a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more, you can sell all or part of it to coventry. even a term policy. for cash, or a combination of cash and coverage, with no future premiums. someone needs to tell them, that they're sitting on a goldmine, and you have no idea! hey, guys! you're sitting on a goldmine! come on, guys! do you hear that? i don't hear anything anymore. find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the number on your screen, or visit coventrydirect.com.

>> ashley: latavia washington mcgee and eric williams recount the moments they were kidnapped by cartel members. >> it was a house with a lot of mexicans outside with guns. >> a mask, red, plastic mask. they put masks on? >> yeah, putting guns to our head, telling us not to look up, things like that. >> this is the house where they were taken, along with two other americans while in mexico for a cosmetic procedure.

woodard and brown were already dead when police arrived on the scene. i cannot believe they have the courage to speak, i don't know if i could. now to this. homeless people in portland are living in make-shift cabins. the structures have doors, chimneys and solar panels. >> todd: i don't even know where to get a solar panel. here is what is going on. kevin, the images you shot are disturbing, wild, so many adjectives you can use to describe. give us detail on what the camps are like live there and in person. >> good morning, thank you for having me on. also described as very dystopian. it is fascinating, i found nine different cabins built by thousands of pieces of

driftwood. it is a completely different world and clear these people had spent years building these things. my question is, how did they get away with it for so long? it is downtown portland across the way of really a million dollar view. it was eye opening. >> ashley: how are they getting the materials? todd said, where do you get a solar panel, go back to the conversation we had a few months ago, the activists were bringing in tents for homeless people to live in. any chance the activists are giving them materials or pushing them to do this? >> i have no doubt that is probably part of it. notice one photo, there are boats. every house has a boat, i'm sure to bring in supplies to this location.

it is a very hard location to get at. now our local government is saying, there is legal gray area about who has jurisdiction. translation, they don't want a jurisdiction, this would be a nightmare to clean up, it would be hundreds of thousands of dollars and take forever. >> todd: you just argued that, the city is encouraging it and combining with the fact they don't do anything when it comes to drugs. they encourage drug use by decriminalizing drugs, creating a drug utopia for people that want to go to camps and live there for the rest of their lives completely drugged out. >> absolutely, this is the result when the government does nothing, this happening to our cities. when we decriminalize drugs and it is a free-for-all, this is

what happened and this is not okay. >> ashley: kevin, when you were there, did you see anybody? how many people did you see? >> i saw a lot of dogs and there are chimneys, working chimneys with smoke and nobody wanted to open the door. it was clear at least 15 people live there. >> ashley: this is like a little colony. this is video you shot, it looks like a little colony for people to live in. >> yeah, in some ways it is quite impressive, it is mind blowing, how did they do this? this took years, thousands of pieces of drift wood, they spent years working on these things. i don't know if outreach workers go down there, i doubt it, hard to find. it took me a couple hours to

find the entry point. >> todd: there is argument this is the railroad's land, it is unclear whose land this is, is that why everybody is washing their hands of this? >> yeah. they call it a legal gray area, it is not my jurisdiction and that is the argument. look, someone has to do something, whether it is private or public land, this is here and we have to solve it. >> todd: it is wild. i mean, you have detailed the homeless crisis in portland and it looked how you thought. when we saw this, eye-opening and shocking. kevin, we appreciate it. thank you. you thought that was crazy, san francisco mayor london breed defending her city against claims it is too dangerous, she

is blaming bad press. it is taken out of context in terms of highlighting the entire city of being unsafe, that is not entirely true. there is perception problem, people will jump to conclusions. >> todd: criticism after cash app founder bob lee was stabbed to death last week and a former fire commissioner was hospitalized after being brutally attacked with a pipe a few days later. in addition to the press, you know who else is to blame, yep, donald trump. >> it is sad, san francisco has been a target for so long and used as an example, we are innovative, creative, we come up with out of the box ideas. sadly with the previous president, we were a target. >> todd: blaming the president for every ill you ever had and he hasn't been in office for two

years. crime is skyrocketing, since last year murder surged by 20%, how is that trump's false? i'm curious. >> ashley: he is busy with other things, not the president. >> todd: a new op ed says children are not property and parents are a threat to democracy for caring about what they are learning in our school. our parent panel is ready to dig into this next. >> ashley: did you see this? $1 hot dog night the phillies game. >> todd: i'm shocked this happened in philly. >> ashley: really? >> todd: no.

tolls. he was taken in for eluding. dollar dog night in the stadium-wide food fight. fans can be seen throwing the hot dogs despite waiting innin loos just to get one. chaos taking place during the phillies 8-4 loss to the marlins. selling 58,000 hot dogs that night. it is not clear how many were eaten. it is not clear why i got the story, todd was going to dog on the phillies. larry vanover in the hospital after being hit by a ball in yankees and guardians game yesterday. >> the ball hits the umpire. >> ashley: the guardians were trying to throw out a runner at

home plate after a long hit. second baseman jimenez hit the umpire in the head with the throw. vanover was not aware he had been hit in the head by a ball. that is so scary. >> todd: i would say vanover was accidentally in the way, the second baseman did what he had to do, taking the cut-off. and parents saying children are not property. authoritarianism is gospel to modden conservatives, nowhere is that clearer than their assaults on children. the language of parental rights can become a license to to theure. a fairfax county mom at independent network and a loudoun county father of two join me now. you heard the statement i read. break down the falsehoods in that statement and throughout

the entire article. oh, my gosh, this article, this op ed is by a woman who has basically perpetuated the character assassination on parents. it's been going on for so many years, i call it the woke army verse parents. we are facing an assault. and this little attack, this writer says we are all right-wing christians, so what she wants to do is smear the sacred duty so many believe we have as parents. rahm, whom you will meet in a minute is a hindu father, we hold our group as sacred and children as sacred, divine gifts from us, so the breakdown on this, the writer is getting

grilled. people do not like this. >> todd: as left would describe you, you two are the face of christian white supremacy, which is comical. >> todd: the takeaway from this article, the state can do a better job of raising kids than you. >> so thanks for the question, todd. the article is not considering the child, in this case, core and center of education and emotional development, which is important. parents have the primary right and say in a child's growth and development in america, period, right? and i believe so. no bureaucrats or politicians, whether on the left or right, have no say, it is parents. if somebody impose teachings on

our children, they are very much wrong and not universally accepted and they are in direct conflict of families and viewpoints. to put it, it is indoctrination, pure and simple, and parents in loudoun county and fairfax county and across the nation will continue to fight back on some of these woke ideologies. >> todd: 100%, you have to. the op ed says kids are key to future conservative want to win, parental rights of one path to total capture of state power and imposition of hierarchy on us all. i would argue the left is doing exactly what they are complaining about there and no conservative is hoping to do that, so why is the left so hell bent on eliminating parent

rights? 20 seconds. >> this writer says she is a socialist, self-described socialist, she wants state ownership of a child. i am a mamabear, rahm is a pappabear. >> todd: i'm there with you, the biggest papabear out there. thank you for your time, we appreciate it. new york city sending $5 million to clean up the rats, talking about the actual, not people who rat on the mafia. it is being led by the new rat czar with a bloated salary. >> you'll be seeing a lot of me and a lot less rats, destiny was calling. you see, i have a long history with rats. >> todd: i don't know what to say. >> ashley: i see like 50 rats on my way to work everyday, that is right, rat czar is a real thing
